About the book

'A powerfully evociative story of the resilience and triumph of the human spirit' Taylor Jenkins Reid
Diana O'Toole's life is going perfectly to plan. At twenty-nine, she's up for promotion to her dream job as an art specialist at Sotheby's and she's about to fly to the Galápagos where she's convinced her surgeon boyfriend, Finn, is going to propose.

But then the virus hits New York City and Finn breaks the news: the hospital needs him, he has to stay. But you should still go, he insists. And reluctantly, she agrees. Once she's in the Galápagos, the world shuts down around her, leaving Diana stranded - albeit in paradise. Completely isolated, with only intermittent news from the outside world, Diana finds herself examining everything that has brought her to this point and wondering if there's a better way to live.

But not everything is as it seems . . .

    The story broke my heart a couple of times.

    I don't know how to tell you how this book broke my heart a couple of times without giving out spoilers. The story happens when Covid struck NYC and evolves around it. But also around Diana and Finn. When I reached around 60% of the book, I was shocked with the revelation. And then it just went sad from there. I was not expecting much from this book, really. I was actually almost about to just leave it unfinished. But it delivered.

    Grenzerfahrung und deren Konsequenzen

    Diana und ihr Partner Finn erleben den Ausbruch der Covid Pandemie in New York. Anfangs dachte ich, uff... Schilderung des Lock Downs, ist mir noch allzu präsent. Aber das Buch entwickelte sich (zum Glück) in eine andere Richtung!
